It may be used in conjunction with AS4970, ARP5535, and ARP5572 and the ANSI Z136 series of laser safety standards. On March 26, 1999, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) submitted a written request to the SAE for assistance in developing standards and regulations concerning outdoor laser operations. In December 1999, Aerospace Standard (AS) AS4970 was published by the SAE and forwarded to the FAA. AS4970 provides guidance on assessing the potential hazards of a particular laser beam. In August 2000, the ANSI Z136.6 standard was first published. Additionally, Aerospace Recommended Practices (ARP) ARP5535 and ARP5572 have been published by the SAE in support of this request.This document provides guidance for operations of a laser system outdoors in the navigable airspace. It also includes training considerations for the outdoor use of lasers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document applies to safety observers or spotters involved with the use of outdoor laser systems. It may be used in conjunction with SAE Aerospace Standard (AS4970) "Human Factors Considerations for Outdoor Laser Operations in the Navigable Airspace." Additional control measures may be applicable and are listed in ANSI Z136.6. Outdoor laser operations require control measures to ensure that laser beams will not interfere with the safe operation of aircraft. It has been found that laser beams that expose pilots can affect the pilot's vision and thus the safe operation of the aircraft, even if the level is less than what would be needed to cause eye injury. One control measure for preventing exposure of pilots to potentially hazardous optical radiation has been found to be a safety observer. A safety observer is a person who watches for potential interaction between the crew of an aircraft and a propagating laser beam and has the authority and means to terminate the laser beam before that interaction takes place.

Download or read book Performance Criteria for Laser Control Measures Used for Aviation Safety written by G10T Laser Safety Hazards Committee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides guidance for laser operators and aviation authorities to determine the performance criteria that laser hazard control measures shall meet for the operation of an outdoor laser system in navigable airspace. The document does not cover systems intended to deliberately aim and or track lasers at aircraft except for FAA approved purposes, such as visual warning systems, search and rescue, etc.Aircraft operations to be protected include all types that can be reasonably expected to operate in the affected area, which are traveling at speeds and altitudes defined in the Performance/Functional Requirements section. This document does not address all possible aircraft operations, (e.g. the operation of stealth, high-speed (> Mach 1), unmanned aircraft systems, aircraft above 60 000 feet MSL, etc.), including aircraft operating under a waiver from FAA regulations. Depending on the laser system's location and operational characteristics, the proponent may be required to coordinate with local military facilities and with the USAF Space Command. The military may request additional requirements (such as limitations on lasing hours or locations), or they may take actions to avoid the laser location. Operators of lasers outdoors must show that the laser hazard control measures used to prevent aircraft illuminations are adequate in order to ensure aviation safety and receive a letter of non-objection from the FAA. Historically, control measures have included the use of safety observers to monitor for aircraft and, in many applications, the use of safety observers is an effective control measure. In other situations, the use of alternate control measures may provide additional safety and may be more cost effective.For example, the use of safety observers can be expensive and, in remote and environmentally challenging locations, it can be difficult to find and retain enough qualified people willing to do this type of work. The cost for safety observers to support 140 full nights of laser operations per year at W. M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii is about $300,000, and the site is several miles away from cities and towns. With the addition of 3 other facilities on Mauna Kea that will routinely use lasers in their operations, the total cost for safety observers may be over $1,000,000/year and the number of safety observers needed may exceed the supply in the local population.In addition to cost considerations, the effectiveness of safety observers in spotting aircraft is limited relative to the hazard distances of some lasers. To address the provision of safety at these distances, additional means to detect aircraft are needed to supplement or to replace the safety observer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides requirements and guidance for laser proponents and aviation authorities to determine the criteria that laser hazard control measures shall meet for the operation of an outdoor laser system in navigable airspace. This document has been developed to be used for a wide range of outdoor laser hazard control measures from completely manual systems to those with various levels of automation.This document applies to laser propagation which may expose persons in navigable airspace to laser energy above the applicable maximum permissible exposure limit or which emits visible light in excess of the visual interference limits in the applicable Laser-Free, Critical, and Sensitive Hazard Zones.The document does not cover systems intended to deliberately aim and or track lasers at aircraft, such as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved purposes, including visual warning systems, search and rescue, etc. Additionally, laser-affected airspace above 60000 feet mean sea level (MSL) is outside the scope of the performance criteria contained herein. Proponents are responsible for implementing appropriate laser control measures to prevent hazardous aircraft illuminations and ensure aviation safety. The AS6029 standard was developed to establish criteria and guidance to aid proponents and aviation officials for developing and evaluating laser control measures to prevent hazardous exposure in navigable airspace. This standard also provides a framework for proponents pursuing a Letter of Non-Objection from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).As laser control measures are being designed with increasing levels of automation, a need was identified to revise the AS6029 standard. Revision B provides updated criteria and guidance that considers laser control measures with varying levels of automation.

Download or read book Laser Safety Management written by Ken Barat and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective laser safety program can mean big savings in time, money, effort, and most importantly, human well-being. It can improve the quality of your research program, your organization's reputation, and ultimately, improve your bottom line. Based on the extensive experience of active Laser Safety Officer Kenneth Barat, Laser Safety Management provides practical tools for successfully implementing a laser safety program in any environment. The book defines the three elements of laser safety: users, the laser safety officer, and incidental personnel. It covers the types of laser injuries, standard operating procedures to ensure safety, tips and tools to avoid pitfalls, training, control measures, and personal protection equipment. The author explores the laser safety officer position and delineates the required elements of effective SOPs. He also discusses non-beam hazards, includes practical control examples and sample forms, and covers U.S. and European regulations and standards. Taking a pedagogical approach, the book covers not only how to avoid accidents, but how to investigate them if they do occur. It includes a sample safety program designed to evaluate your current safety plan and act as a roadmap for where you need to be and how to get there. Filled with common sense solutions for laser safety issues, the book makes setting up a safety program practically painless.

Download or read book Unauthorized Laser Illuminations Pilot Operational Procedures written by G10-OL Operational Laser Committee and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document addresses the operational safety and human factors aspects of unauthorized laser illumination events in navigable airspace. The topics addressed include operational procedures, training, and protocols that flight crew members should follow in the event of a laser exposure. Of particular emphasis, this document outlines coping strategies for use during critical phases of flight. Although lasers are capable of causing retinal damage, most laser cockpit illuminations, to date, has been relatively low in irradiance causing primarily startle reactions, visual glare, flashblindness and afterimages. Permanent eye injuries from unauthorized laser exposures have been extremely rare. This document describes pilot operational procedures in response to the visual disruptions associated with low to moderate laser exposures that pilots are most likely to encounter during flight operations. With education and training, pilots can take actions that safeguard both their vision and the safety of their passengers. The G-10 Operational Laser committee has agreed to stabilize this document as the content has been determined to be basic and stable information not dynamic in nature.
